Libertarianism is an interesting philosophy. Very American. Unfortunately, it has one weak spot. For it to work, everyone must follow the law and play fairly. Unfortunately, not everyone does this so the "marketplace of human interaction" often tilts towards REGULATION and, ultimately, monopoly. Moreover, it relies on the assumption that all human beings are rational and self-starters. This is not true, quite a few are very dependent and need a strong state to tell them what to do or to provide for them.
